It's interesting that so many enjoy the various BP guns and the acoutrements that go with them. Fine folks enjoying the very best of the era. Life is good
Yet how many step it up a notch beyond that? Do any of you take an interest in the period and technology of the times? It's one thing to go to the range and truly enjoy the gun itself and mastering the principles of how to make them fire consistently and with great accuracy. Just wondering aloud if many take it to another level and try to master the other technologies of the period.
How do you make fire? Simple question. But it seems to follow the course of the evolution of guns...
Flint, Percussion, and Cartridge all seem to see periods of overlap with the simple act of making a campfire....anyone else go to the next level? Or are folks happy just making the gun go bang
